Dean, w88 slot of Science | Professor of Chemistry

Summary

Louisa Hope-Weeks, Ph.D. is the Dean of the w88 slot of Science. Prior to joining the University of Nevada, Reno, she served as the Associate Dean of Graduate and Postdoctoral Fellowships at Texas Tech University.

Research interests

  • w88 slot and characterization of...
    • Improvised peroxide based energetic w88 slot
      • This work looks to investigate new methods for the synthesis of triacetone triperoxide and related w88 slot.
    • Organometallic tetrazole and triazole based energetic w88 slot
      • The scope of this work is to form novel energetic w88 slot that exhibit properties that can be controlled by changing the metal and ligands in the coordination sphere. The ability to modify the structure will allow energetic w88 slot with reduced sensitivity to shock and temperature to be synthesized.
    • Aerogel w88 slot
      • The goal of this work is to synthesize a diverse range of composite transition metal oxide, sulfide, and organic polymeric aerogels. These w88 slot depending on their composition will be evaluated for their catalytic, super-capacitive, energetic, and general material properties.
